Aquaforest BRS Sales

[Schmidward]

Hey Reefers!

I have been slowly but surely planning out my first reef tank.

I am not in an immediate rush to buy a tank as I have a long vacation planned for next spring, and would like to wait until after I return to get started.

I plan to pick up equipment on sales or second hand through people tearing their tank down. I would like to buy the tank itself brand new. I have narrowed my search down to 2 brands: Aquaforest and Cade.

Aquaforest currently has a sale going on ranging 25%-35% off on BRS. I have seen Cade run a few sales at 15% off but they don't seem as common.

Is there a specific time of year you find best to shop deals of new Aquariums? I assume it would be far fetched to expect to see AF tanks being discounted more than this. My thought is that Black Friday would be right in line with this and would better fit into my timetable.

Black Friday is always good

Cade are also currently on sale at algaebarn. Hidden code that you can see after you add it to your cart. 15% off. Black friday is normally a good time to get a tank on sale, but I would go with cade over AF. Two different levels of tank, with cade being on top.

What size tank do you want? What is your budget?

I have a killer deal on a new 48x20x20 setup, it’s roughly 50% off msrp

And once they are sold out the deal is gone forever. There are about 10-15 left

It’s made by CurrentUSA
83g rimless, low iron glass on 3 sides, rear painted black

Low profile ghost overflow

Handmade stand - quality - by a cabinetmaker in cali

Stand is marine grade plywood and completely skinned in waterproof laminate - inside and out

26g custom glass sump

9g acrylic auto top off

Plumbing is precut and just needs to be press fit together on arrival

1600$ and that includes curbside delivery anywhere in the country

I bought it even though I’m not ready to set it up, just have it on a pallet in my garage, because it was spend 1600 now vs 3000 later for a similar setup

I like my Cade, Algaebarn usually has a sale on them for Black Friday. I’ve seen Aquaforest and they also seem nice and appear well built. I have not seen the Current USA in person, but from the pictures also appears to be a nice tank and good deal if the size is right for you. Not having a large overflow box in the tank is nice in my opinion but not essential. I don’t think there is a bad choice among these options, but overflow and sump configurations as well as stand (aluminum with side access doors vs wood) are very different and something to consider.

Dang that’s a great deal! I’m just unfortunately in the middle of home renovations (for probably the rest of the summer at this rate) so I’m both low on funds and storage space at the moment. I do appreciate the great offer

There's always good deals on blackfriday...usual brands like waterbox, fiji cube and IM. All depends on what your looking for.

Hard to beat the deal that @VintageReefer posted tho. That's a pretty sweet set up
